Catherine Connolly: I have one or two final questions. When the Minister for Finance was before the committee, I put it to him that he had stated in September 2013 that Project Eagle was the only game in town.

Was Mr. Rowntree...

I refer to one particular case where the...

Other Questions: Home Care Packages Funding (18 Oct 2016)
